The Democratic National Alliance (DNA) is a political party in Antigua and Barbuda founded on April 18, 2017.[1] The DNA is currently led by former MP and Senator Joanne Massiah. The party was founded after a disastrous leadership race within the United Progressive Party (which Massiah and her team withdrew from)[2] following their defeat in the 2014 General Elections.

Following UPP's Convention in 2015, Joanne Massiah, the then-elected Member of Parliament for All Saint's East and St. Luke, was expelled from the party on February 12, 2017.[3]
